Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“I am glad the member supports the idea behind this bill. We can learn from past technology mistakes. We can fix the details of this bill in committee. Does he think the House will pass this bill, since the Senate already supported it?”
“Madam Speaker, I appreciate that the member clearly indicated that how health information technology is handled is absolutely critical and that he supports the principle of the legislation. I am encouraged by that. In terms of the whole mismanagement area, it was the Harper government that brought in Phoenix. There is no escaping that. In other words, there are ways in which, no doubt, we can learn from past experiences in order to advance the principle of a good idea. I appreciate the member’s knowledge, I must say. I am quite impressed with his background and his understanding of the urgency of this. I believe that it would be best addressed at the committee stage. I wonder if he could provide his thoughts on whether he thinks this legislation will pass, given that the Senate has already supported it in principle.”
